Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU)

In this Appendix...

Introduction

The Adaptec Flash Utility (AFU) is a DOS utility used to update,
save, or verify RAID controller firmware BIOS, and NVRAM.

Caution:

The AFU is easy to use and contains safeguards to

prevent you from accidentally damaging the controller’s flash
contents. Still, you must be careful to use the AFU correctly,
otherwise, you could render the controller inoperable.

Note:

If you are updating multiple controllers in the same

system, update the boot controller’s flash first, restart the
computer, and then update the flash for any remaining
controllers.
